"What is your name?
The teacher asked what my name was?
I know that when the reporting verb is in the past we should change the tense of the verb in quotaion marks. But can this sentence be correct?
The teacher asked what my name is? I mean without the changing of the tense?
In my book there is a sentence: He asked, "Where do you work now?"
He asked where she worked now. Why didn't the writer change now to then?
Thanks
